If you don't change and vary your workouts then your body will get use to your workout and you could (and probably will) fall into a weight loss plateau.
Here are some of my tips for variations;
1. Adjust the weight; this doesn't mean the weight always needs to get heaver, it can get lighter too.
2. Start at the end; do your workout backwards, start with the last exercise and finish with the first.
3. Workout A & B; don't have just one workout have a few that you follow, if this week you A,B,A then next week you can B,A,B
4. Changing speed; if you are lifting or running use different speeds.
5. Rotating; when you are doing strength training then rotate during your movements; i.e. when doing a bicep curl you lift with palms out and when you get to the top of the movement rotate your palms facing in.
6. Cardio-Strength Mix; if you always do your cardio first before your strength training then sometimes do it last (but if your cardio is part of your warm-up then don't forget this!)
Maybe you can add to this list?
